Exactly.
So I guess the obvious conclusion is that Taurus begs and begs all the holster makers to make holsters for Taurus guns and all, each and every one of, the holster makers stubbornly refuse to do it...

Obviously, I do not know if they beg or not. I saw a VP for Taurus on one of the gun shows, telling one of the people from the show, that they put either a gun or a blank of the gun in the hands of the Holster people, in advance. Holster makers, apparently want to know they are gonna sell some quantity before they will commit a model for them.
I know, I can get a holster for just about any model, if I am willing to put out X # of bucks. Some will not be accurate hold, like the one I bought for the Judge.
Others that match other makers guns, like from Fobus (inexpensive choice) will fit fine. But they only advertise one model for the PT Pro series.
Here is where it gets fun, the others makers guns, the same size, that use the one for PT Pro's "sp11b" paddle only, have several models that they swear will fit like the XD, or HD2000. Now why if they fit the pro and the XD or HD in one model, do they say the other models will not fit the PRO. Or even mention that they can be used in the PRO.
I do not know if it is like some, site not being updated, or just a failure of the holster makers to admit that they will fit the Pro series.
It also applies to Rossi revolvers, either in grips or holsters. The old models list, that have not been available for purchase since the 80's or 90's, the 68's or 88's but try to find one that says it will fit the newest models. One site does list the 38's, 351, 352, etc, but does not mention the 357's 461,462, and the longer barreled versions.
When asked, they threw it back to me
"For the 461, the TA85 (which is designed for the Rossi 351 and 352). If the dimensions are the same, then there is no reason why this holster should work."
So I could order the one they tell me, as the dimensions seem the same to me, from the web site anyway.
